Police said the group is taking advantage of a program intended to take firearms off the street. Members of Guns Save Life, in Champaign County, countered that they are putting the money to good use - to purchase ammunition and firearms for a youth program that teaches gun safety and marksmanship. The group also traded in BB guns and starter pistols.

"We just took advantage of Chicago's induced, artificial market on rusty junk," said John Boch, the group's president.

That's what I like to see -- the entrepreneurial spirit in action! :cool:
